Former WWE Universal Champion Braun Strowman, who was released by the WWE in June 2021, made his return to the company during Monday’s episode of WWE RAW on the USA Network, crashing the Fatal Four Way Match to determine the #1 Contender’s for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships.

Strowman, real name Adam Scherr, competed for the Control Your Narrative promotion, owned by EC3, during his time away from the WWE.

The promotion/EC3 released a statement, wishing Scherr well upon his WWE return and for his time spent as part of Control Your Narrative. The full statement reads, “Control Your Narrative (CYN) would like to wish Adam Scherr the best in his return to form as Braun Strowman. To “Control Your Narrative” is to “Tell Your Story” and the story of Braun Strowman is “unfinished business.” May Adam/Braun continue to strike fear into the hearts of his opponents, while also doing what motivates him the most, “putting smiles on people’s faces’ worldwide. Adam’s ability and value was a catalyst of growth for CYN, allowing an “idea” to grow into featured content, live shows, and the prospect of a domestic tour and weekly episodic television featured on “Pro Wrestling TV.” With CYN we hope the fulfilment of helping the next generation and personal growth leads him to becoming “who he is supposed to be.” Control Your Narrative is not about just one man, but a brand. CYN is, and always will be, a platform for any talent/individual to find their “purpose” in this industry. CYN was created to allow name performers’ the creative freedom to reinvent themselves while also giving new, deserving wrestlers the one thing they desperately seek. Opportunity. With CYN, our mission is to create memories, characters and a platform that will last a lifetime. I remain determined to make CYN a platform where those following their “dream” have a place to learn, create, grow and make a living. Control Your Narrative will be both a proving ground and an education. CYN exists not just to build better wrestlers, but to build better people. Adam’s contributions to both will be missed. With Adam’s return to WWE, the vision remains the same but the immediate future is known. This is not a bad thing. To our CYN talent, those that are knocking on the door, to any fan, lover/hater or any individual reading I can assure you only one thing. Everything you ever want, is on the other side of the unknown.”
